My 49 SL MkII is my most used piece of studio equipment.
Originally when I set out to buy a master keyboard controller I wanted something that was flexible enough to adapt to my playing and workflow, and the 49SL MkII was everything I wanted - and more.
It's clear, ergonomically designed, laden with high quality knobs, sliders, pads, and buttons, and of course a excellent, highly playable Keybed.
plus there's much more possibilities when using the menus, such as midi zones, layers, controller labeling, usb/midi settings, and much much more.
The keyboard iteself is awesome to play, and has aftertouch too.
There's also plenty of ins and outs : 2 midi outs, midi in & thru, usb, and pedal options.
The 49 SL MkII really is one of the best master keyboard controllers you will find.

The most amazing feeling FATAR keys, touch sensitivity, and automap control over EVERYTHING make this thing a MONSTER!!!! I have had one since they come out and its still the BEAST!! I mean the best...ok BEAST IS BETTER!!!

Been the best keyboard I could ever have hoped for. easy to set up and easy template structure. Compatible with so many different DAWS'. I personally use Sonar Platinum and this is a Powerful blend of sound and functionality. Love my Novation MKII 49

Hello from Rob Mullins in LA, CA. I have been using this controller in several studios the past couple years and it is killer! In fact, I used it on my "Soulful" album controlling Logic Pro and it was great. There are so many functions on it you could never get bored and the feel of it is rapid and very quick to the touch. Lightweight and easy to carry under your arm on the way to your next gig. I used it up at Bogie's as my main controller with the Carmen Grill Band and made it in charge of the B3 sounds which are important in that kind of music. If you don't have one of these, get one!-Rob Mullins

The B Stock SL MkII 49 is the last word in professional USB MIDI controllers. Combining a superb semi-weighted Fatar keybed with a ridiculous number of controls, it connects your hands directly to your DAW, plugin instruments and effects, with comprehensive visual feedback via the controls themselves and the LCD screen.

Incredible Professional KeyboardExpress yourself on the SL MkII 49's 49-key premium semi-weighted Fatar keybed. Featuring velocity sensitivity and assignable aftertouch, this supremely playable keyboard feels like a real musical instrument, and is enhanced by the inclusion of expression and sustain pedal inputs.

See Exactly What You're ControllingThe 144-character LCD screen provides information on the software parameters being controlled by the SK MkII 49 at any time, including the names and values of entire rows of knobs, faders or buttons. Novation have also lined the screen up with the rotary encoders, so you can see what they're assigned to without looking at your computer screen.

Get Immediate Visual FeedbackThe SL MkII 49's illuminated controls deliver further visual feedback: 11-segment LED rings around the encoders reflect the position of your filter cutoff or reverb mix balance, while the backlit buttons let you see at a glance what tracks in your project are muted or soloed, for example.

Touch-Sensitive Controls

Every knob, encoder, button and fader on the SL MkII 49 is touch-sensitive. Simply touch a control without moving it to bring up information on its entire row on your LCD screen.

Control Any Major Music Software The SL MkII 49 gives hands-on control of the transport and mixer in any major DAW application, including Live, Logic, Cubase and Pro Tools. You can also use the SL MkII 49 with Novation's powerful Automap software to control third party plug-in instruments and effects, such as those by Native Instruments, Universal Audio, FXpansion and countless other developers, with parameters mapped automatically and intelligently.

Huge Array of Touch- Sensitive ControlsTouch any of the SL MkII 49's beautifully illuminated controls to see its current assignment displayed on the LCD screen.

Control Any Major Music SoftwareTake control of DAW applications and third party plug-in instruments by the biggest (and smallest!) names in the industry.

Bus-Powered by USBPlug directly into your Mac or PC via USB and start playing – no power cables required.

Use Your Pedals and MIDI InstrumentsConnect standard expression and sustain pedals for performance input, and plug the SL MkII 49 into external MIDI instruments via 5-pin DIN MIDI Out to play and control them.
